We feel blessed to have found Dr. Seigel a little over a month ago when we were desperately seeking answers to what was ailing our sick dog, who wasnt behaving normally. He did not want to eat or drink, was occasionally throwing up, and was not wagging his tail and acting happy like he used to. He was not pooping a normal amount, and one day it was a bit bloody and had mucous, and he had thrown up, and that began my journey to seeking answers. I took him to two vets prior to finding Dr. Siegel. At each, I explained my concerns, and I was offered conventional treatments for my pet that did not really address the root cause of his issues. It was discovered by the first vet that he was having anal gland issues, and he was put on medications, but he didnt ever start to feel better, and I could tell he was still sick. When I took him to a second vet, they were reluctant to do any diagnostic work to see what was wrong, but I eventually convinced them that something was really wrong with him, and they did perform an x-ray, which showed he was completely backed up. They gave him an enema, which addressed the symptom, but did nothing to correct the problems in his body. They diagnosed him as having possible pancreatitis, and I was prescribed more medications to put him on, but was not really offered any plan of action or advice to help my pet. My pet really went downhill from this point on. He didnt want to eat anything or drink any water unassisted. We were trying to hand feed him and we were squirting water in his mouth. He fought us at every step, and it became very frustrating. I became extremely concerned at this point, and was worried he could die. I felt there had to be more we could do. I started doing research online to educate myself to try and help him. I called both of the initial vets I had taken him to, and told them my concerns, but they offered no hope. They just did not know what was wrong with him, and their treatments seemed like sticking a bandaid on a wound, without knowing the real reason why he was sick. I decided to look online for any holistic vets around Tampa, something I had done many times before, to no avail. However, this time was different. This time a vets office came up that I had never heard of before. I liked what I saw on the website, and called and spoke with Alyssa, who took the time to really listen to me, asked me questions, and answered all of mine. I found out they had helped dogs in similar situations, and she gave me hope. I made an appointment for the next day. Dr. Siegel met with me and my dog for about an hour. She gave us her plan for him. We discussed with her what we could afford and she helped us prioritize what was the most important for him. She helped us to develop a plan that worked for us financially and would benefit our dog the most. We did three treatments in the Magnesphere on three successive days (immediately after those treatments was the only times he went and got a drink of water on his own!), IV ozone treatments, chiropractic adjustments, and switched his diet to raw, along with adding enzymes, raw keifer, and bone broth to his meals. He ate on his own for the first time in months! His personality started to shine again as his health returned. His tail would wag and he wanted to go for walks again, and is now even wanting to run! He is 12 years old, and acts more like a puppy again at times since hes started to heal. He has two very large brothers, 85 pounds to his 20 pounds and he even wanted to play a bit with them. The difference in him is miraculous! Now, all is not perfect, as some days he still does not want to eat and has to be encouraged, but other then that, we are so pleased. We want people to know there are options out there for their pets. Do not give up hope. Go to Dr. Seigels webpage and watch some of her videos and listen to how she has done terrific work for so many peoples pets. It is amazing. She offers conventional medicine, if needed, but more importantly, offers alternative treatment for our pets that really help them to heal.

My husband and I cannot thank Pasco Veterinary, Dr. Siegel, her daughter Alyssa and the entire staff enough. We have an 8-year-old dachshund, Eva, who was diagnosed with IVDD many years ago. She had moments of pain throughout the years and then in the first weekend of May 2017 she lost use of her hind legs. We rushed her to an emergency pet hospital on a Sunday afternoon and were told that we had 3 options...(1) euthanize her (2) emergency spinal surgery with little chance of success (3) high doses of prednisone and tramadol with 6 weeks of crate rest again with limited chance of success. After a few days of watching our best friend suffer, I started franticly calling top rated IVDD vets throughout the country. I was told that I made the biggest mistake not taking her for emergency surgery. Then suddenly I found Pasco Veterinary only miles from my house. I called and spoke with Alyssa who immediately reassured me, “Yes, we CAN help her!” and told me they have a 98% success rate with getting animals to walk again. We rushed Eva there and began a truly eye-opening journey towards understanding healing from the total perspective of incorporating mind, body, and spirit. Although initially highly skeptical, Dr. Siegel explained how we would all work together to heal her. The treatments we began that day were certainly unfamiliar to us but they began working immediately! We changed Eva’s food to a raw diet, incorporated supplements, Magnesphere and Laser therapy, ozone treatment, acupuncture, acupressure, chiropractic adjustments, opened her chakras, cleared trapped emotions all taking care of the root cause which is inflammation. 25 days later, I write this testimonial as my fur angel sits next to me playing with her toys and rolling around on her back. Yesterday we took her to the park for a walk…her favorite thing to do in the whole world. While she has some recovery and strength building to do, she is about 80% there. Eva is a MIRACLE and Dr. Siegel, Alyssa and the staff at Pasco Vet are MIRACLE WORKERS!

My decision to change my Vet to Dr. Seigels practice last year has been the smartest decision I have made to date. After each of my four pets had health issues, paying thousands in Vet costs only to have them die young I knew I had to do something different. That is when I started seeking out an alternative Veterinary practice. I didnt even know where to start. No problem as Dr. Siegel has taken care of everything. I started my new puppy at her practice and the time she spent with me and my dog has been above and beyond. She answers all my questions. She explains everything, makes recommendations and what I need for my dog can be purchased anywhere so she is not recommending things to make money off it. She truly cares about my dog having a long, healthy, quality life. The real proof that Dr. Siegel is amazing is with my latest rescue dog. We got her on Thanksgiving. She is four and a half and looked so old. She looked flabby, her fur was course and she was scratching though she had no fleas. After a week on the same protocol recommended for our puppy we saw our rescue dog change in a matter of days before our eyes. She stopped scratching, her coat turned soft and she looked so much better. No medicine just diet. I knew the diet was good but had no idea just how good. We were truly blown away. Do I care if I call and Im put on hold? Nope. Do I care if I cant get a same day appointment exactly when I want it? Nope. What I care about is that my Vet cares about my pets health and wellness as much as I do. That she knows what my pet needs. Kudos to Dr Siegel and the whole team at Pasco Veterinary Medical Center.
